i can relate similar stories from alabama to connecticut, from new england to north dakota, as we have seen time and again americans are by nature a resilient people. our role is to be part of the team that fosters that resilience and strive to continue doing our jobs better and more efficiently. our experience over the past several years has made us smarter about the terrorist threats we face and how best to deal with them. we've learned that we can apply different protocols in different cases depending on the information we possess about both the individual situation and the threat environment as a whole. for instance, not every traveler or piece of cargo poses the same level of risk to our security. the key to evaluating potential risk is information, by sharing and leveraging information, we can make informed decisions about how to best mitigate risk. and the more we know, the better we become at providing security that is seamless and efficient. we can also free up more resources to spend on those threats or individuals we are bound to encounter but may not know much about. the kn
